I've seen it multiple times. Strangely, this activity usually gets passed down to the lowest on the food chain, possibly even an intern, to ACTUALLY do the redacting. In today's electronic world, there are more ways to do it wrong than to do it right. Most of the ways people tend to think to do this, leave the information in place electronically, even if it generates an image where it can't be read. The only true way to do this correctly is to REMOVE the text, electronically, from the document. It must be REPLACED with the black lines. Attempting to allow the information to remain, but merely make it hard to recover is not a straight forward process.
